As the signs behind them make clear, that photo of Bill Clinton and Bill Gates is from a session at the World Economic Forum this week in Davos, Switzerland. Dow Jones Newswires has an interesting report today on something Bill Gates will be doing in Europe after leaving the summit:

Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates will visit European Union officials Tuesday, one week after the company decided not to appeal an interim court ruling that ordered Microsoft to immediately comply with a March E.U. antitrust decision, officials said.

Microsoft confirmed the visit but refused to elaborate on whom Gates would meet during his one-day stopover in between the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and a conference in the Czech capital of Prague. ...

The antitrust office is headed by Dutchwoman Neelie Kroes, but "there are no plans for a meeting with Mrs. Kroes," said E.U. spokesman Jonathan Todd.
